Ahh, Neuer just makes sure that NÃŧbel doesn't have to fight "best-keeper-ever"-expectations xD
But isn't Flick's football closer to Cruyff than Pep's? Go man for man defensively but fly freely on the offensive? And that might even be the reason why Kompany's football seems to be very similar: he grew up in a Cruyff-based academy even longer than he played for Guardiola…
The fact that people actually think that Fermin even remotely impacted Kimâs header is beyond me. That never in a million years is a foul. Put it this way, if it were a normal play that occurred in the midfield, no one would have bat an eyeâĻ
Jules saying that Bayern should've played a winger in the no.10 position is bad judgment. He obviously doesn't watch the Bayern games
someone seemed in pain from the very start of this video
No Way that Fermine Assist is a foul on Kim….. If a defender did that in the box there would be NO foul calls so why call it against a goal
These are games Barca absolutely lost and usually lost bad in years past. Barca will always be Barca to average LaLiga teams but as soon as they play someone good n they lose the possession game they always lost those games becuz they couldnât adapt. That Barca I seen Yesterday was different on so many levels. Physically, mentally, strategically. It was a masterclass in showing the difference becuz someone in charge and a real experienced coach. I love Xavi but he wasnât ready YET
see what the ref says? (19:12) đ¤Ŗ, everybody knows about the madrid bettalion of referess at this point
Why is it always: "Yeah, it's bad, but hey, money, so shut up!" Why not "Yeah I get the criticism, let's try to find a good way for as many people as we can!"?
Barcelona was good yes
lol that was never a foul Iâm surprised ex professional players are trying to say that was a foul đ
Kompany vs flick was a big miss match đ
Bro is looking very sad like his girl left yesterday đ

The whole world was cheated from Ray Hudson not being on the Barca Bayern broadcast. What Real did was fantastic. Dortmund completely messed up by taking off attackers for defenders and turtling..
PRAY FOR MADRID. UNLESS THE REF CHEATS AGAIN, THEY WILL NOT WIN.
Do u guys watch Barcelona. Why are u talking about Gavi. Heâs a sub. Heâs just been lucky enough to have been playing in sub par Barcelona teams. Heâs not better than casado. Or olmo. Or pedri. Or Frenkie. Even Marc Bernal. Gavi cannot make the starting 11 in this team. Hes energy off of the bench.
Both clubs a work in progress. Kudos to Barca and you rarely get that insane scoring efficiency. Bayern looked good early and also opened Barca up fairly regularly. 4:1 was a bit harsh on Bayern. They now have work cut out for auto qualification. But they certainly have the talent. For sure, the Manu conversation has to be real now. He also cost last years CL semi, letting RM back in.
These guys are hypocrites
Barcelona ofto win la liga and champions league this season b4 i can give them the green light as a European heavyweight but real madrid is the real deal people n other side better watch out for them
They got done by Villa !! Brighton can put them in Blender ! Ninja đĨˇ
Frankie de Wrong??
Hansi flick won a sexturple with this same highline, won the champions league final against PSG with Mbappe, Di Maria and Neymar at that time yet these guys think this coach doesn't know what he is doing playing highlineđ.
Make fun of the "weak" Swiss league, but hype up the clown ball being played in Saudi … Stay consistent boys
Casado is a perfect gem he drops a dope performance per game
These guys are such frauds… personal opinions are bleeding into all their opinions and even body language. does anyone enjoy listening to them?
Barca will surprise a lot of people in the El Classico almost everyone is saying Madrid will expose their highline weaknesses and punish them
Neur has been on a decline for about 5 years but most people blinded by nostalgia.
sure, blame the goalkeeper. i swear the level of this punditry is abysmal
No way De Jong comes back in to Barca eleven, dude is so slow and slowed the pace a lot as soon as he came on against Bayern. I hope and think Flick is fair and will keep Casado and the current starting eleven keep playing.
I like how instead of giving credit to Barca its because Bayern is playing bad after saying the week before that Bayern was playing really good after destroying in the league.
Crazy that this guy is saying âwe play with la masia bla bla blaâ. Kind of disrespectful like they are yapping. We ended the game with 8 la masia players. And matter of fact Flick has based his tactics on Johan Cruyffâs philosophy he has said that several times. He just made a little tweak even jules kounde in an interview said that flick and xaviâs tactics are very much similar.
Lol first it was, if they play against bayern maybe their backline will be exposed, now itâs yeah if they play against someone smarter than bayern theyâll get exposed. Why is it so hard to put bias aside and just acknowledge that Barca is the most in form team in Europe right now and is playing beautiful football.
And the fact that he says it must be tiring, barca has run less kmâs per game under flick than under xavi. It just that their positioning is way better
Gab and his brother,
ITS THE HIGHLINE + MAC CASSADO THAT WON…….
